Getting there

Mgahinga is reached by road, usually in advanced-user trips that combine the gorilla areas of Bwindi Forest in Uganda and Virunga Mountains in Rwanda, in which case it lies conveniently on the route.

If you are not intending to do this combination, then Mgahinga can be very inconvenient to include in a trip, which is why it is so little-visited.
